FAQ

A few answers to the questions we're hearing most. Anything we've missed, just ask us.

Where should I book my room?

At the Estate at Yountville for an immersive celebratory experience. All wedding-related events are on the grounds, and staying on property means you need to drive out only to enjoy the world-renowned Napa valley. Both self- and valet-parking are complimentary. Other hotels in the area should be available. In all cases, book early and let us know.

When should I arrive?

Friday, April 30, before early evening so you can settle in before the Sangeet at 6:00 pm. Many guests are staying through Sunday to enjoy the valley.

What should I wear?

Friday's Sangeet is festive and colourful. Wear a Saree or bright cocktail attire, and shoes you can dance in. Saturday is a colorful sunset inspired soiree on the lawns and gravel, so a block heel or flat is your friend. We encourage you to bring a light wrap for dinner.

Is the ceremony outdoors?

Yes. The Baraat, ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner are outside on the lawns and courtyard. The reception dance party will be located inside. Evenings cool quickly, so bring a wrap or jacket.

What is a Baraat?

It's the joyful procession that brings the groom and his family to the ceremony, with drums, dancing and a great deal of noise. We encourage everyone to join in.

Are children invited?

We love your little ones, but this will be an adults-only celebration. We look forward to a kid-free evening with everyone.

Do I need a car?

Not for the wedding itself. If you'd like to visit wineries, rent a car or hire a driver rideshares are limited in the valley.

Stay with us at the Estate

Rooms are limited and a Napa weekend in May books out early. Reserving on property keeps you close to every toast, every dance and every late-night conversation.
